Trusted wood floor repair in Dunswell

Wood floor repair in Dunswell, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What affects the price in Dunswell

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Dunswell

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunswell

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
